- 'C a m-.'(CL15- 8 5 f 'This invention relates to articles of stationeryland more particularly to pencilsand similar articles havin a core .with a sheath of paper other flexible ,rnaterial tIierearou-nd. 1

It is" the principal o ject of the present inventionito provide improved articles of stationery comprising a core with an enclosing casing of rolled paper or the like, and improved methods of making the same by which the manufacture of'the article is greatly expedited and simplified.-

H f ,7. E flt is' a further obj ect of the present invention to provide improved mthodsof making articles of stationery, such a'spaper pencils and the like, in hich operations nowv considered necessary for the production of such articles are eliminated with ponsequent saving of labor Costs. 75 v M It ,is'a further object ofit he presentinvention to providedmpro'ved methods of making-articles such as paper p c a the like by whi h. avin in e a oun of paper employed will be effected.

It is a further object of the present invention to provide improved methods of making articles of stationery, such as paper pencils and the like, in which the unpeeling of the end after coloring or imprinting is eliminated.

It is a further object of the present invention to pro vide methods for the production of articles as aforesaid in which the operation of individual coloring or imprin ing, or both, after the product has been formed, are eliminated.

Other objects and advantageous features of the invention will be apparent from the description and claim.

The nature and characteristic features of the invention will be more readily understood from the following description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings forming part thereof, in which:

FIGURE 1 is a view in elevation of an article of stationery made in accordance with the invention;

FIG. 2 is an enlarged end elevational view as seen from the right of FIG. 1

FIG. 3 is a plan view of one side face of a paper blank employed in connection with the invention;

FIG. 4 is a fragmentary plan view of the other side face of a portion of the blank shown in FIG. 3, parts being broken away to show the steps and the details of construction;

FIG. 5 is a fragmentary sectional view, enlarged, taken approximately on the line 55 of FIG. 4; and

FIG. 5A is a fragmentary sectional view similar to FIG. 5 and showing a modified form of the invention.

It should, of course, be understood that the description and drawings herein are illustrative merely, and that various modifications and changes may be made in the components and steps disclosed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

Like numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views.

In the manufacture of paper pencils and the like, as currently practiced, the raw stock in the form of paper having weakened lines thereon is wrapped around a core with the end secured by an adhesive to retain the shape of the article. The article is then dipped to provide an exterior coating of colored ink or the like. The separate articles are oriented and suitable descriptive indicia are then imprinted on the exterior to identify the maker, the intended use of the article and for other purposes. One end is then sliced transversely to provide a finished and a d t ot her 'e dfis a n a for bo n f its length and to expose' the end of the core for use.=

with a band or strip 15 of glue or other adhesive. The opposite faceof the blank 12, as shown in FIG. 4, and in spaced relation to the perforations or depressions 14 can be provided with a strip or band 16 of color of suitable width to provide a sufficient colored area imprinted or otherwise applied as hereinafter referred to. Where the blank 12 is of paper of a color other than white, the band16 can be white in color and thus provide an underlay. The width of the band 16, inwardly from the side marginal edge 20 of the blank 12 at which the perforations of depressions 14 are located, is preferably sufficient tocover the last two layers of the circumference of the exterior of the cover 11.

In superposed relation to'the band 16 a band 17 is applied, preferably of a different and/or contrasting color from that of the band 16, and to provide the desired vcolor on the finished exterior of the article.

In the application of the band 17 .a reverse printing plate, silk screen or stencil maybe employed so that simultaneously with the application of the band 17 the desired identifying indicia or legend, indicated at 18, will be apparent on the article. The band 16 can provide a contrasting color visible on the face of the finished article through openings in the band 17 by reason of the reverse plate printing,- silk screening or stencilling. The width of the band 17 inwardly from the side marginal edge 20 of the blank 12 at which the perforations or depressions 14 are located is preferably in excess of the circumference of the exterior of the paper cover 11 and preferably to extend onto the outer two plies of the cover 11 so that the color of the band 16 can be seen through perforations or other openings in the outer ply of the cover 11. The continuity of color will thus be unaffected by perforations at 14.

The bands 16 and 17 can be of any suitable material such as an ink with a glossy or dull finish, as desired.

*If desired, and as indicated in FIG. 5A, where an extra gloss or lustre is desired, an overlay coating 19 of lacquer, varnish or resin can be applied to the blank 12 subsequent to the application of the band 17. The lacquer, varnish or resin band 19 is, of course, preferably transparent so as to not obscure the color of the band 17. I a

In accordance with the invention the bands 16 and 17 and the band 19, if used, are applied to the blank 12 on a multicolor press either simultaneously with or separately paper'cover 1'1. wqundlthereon. In order.
